More Long Tail Banter from Boing Boing

The famous and engaging web site Boing Boing (self-described as a Directory of Wonderful Things) has a new podcast episode called “Boing Boing Boing podcast #4.” A great continuation from the recent Get Elastic podcast discussion on Long Tail and definitely entertaining and informative listening from the mouths of wise folks as they apply the Long Tail model in all manner of scenarios.

In the episode, host Xeni Jardin is joined by Chris Anderson - author of the LongTail and editor of Wired Magazine - as well as net-activist/writer/iconoclast Cory Doctorow. Together they embark on a far-ranging (and occasionally slightly ribald) discussion on marketing, innovation, technology and more.

Here’s what they say about the episode:

Our guest this week is Chris Anderson, editor-in-chief of Wired Magazine and author of “The Long Tail.” With Chris, we talk about: Robert Anton Wilson, Jon Lech Johansen, GooTube, book burning, John Hodgman’s book tour, and how the infinitely versatile longtail theory applies to matters as diverse as low-grossing grossout movies, coffee, beer, public access cable TV shows, George Lucas, and Disneyland rides.
